Justine Jovel adopted the cat after seeing a post on Craigslist. She took the black cat, named Jello, to a veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian gave the cat a rabies vaccination. Jello also underwent a wellness assessment and passed. Still, the veterinarian encouraged Jovel to quarantine the cat for 10 days as a precaution so the cat was kept away from the family and Jovel's other pets.
After 10 days, Jello was healthy and was introduced to the family.
